Tired of not being one of the ‘cool kids’? You read all over the internet about these new, invite only, closed Social Media beta sites, where it seems like everyone bar you already has a login? Well here are 2 solutions to your non-invite woes.

InviteShare is a site that allows users to share invites. If you happen to get into an invite only site, then you can go there and invite other people who are interested in playing with that site. The more people you invite, the higher your name goes on the priority list for invites to other sites. They currently list 44 different sites from Pownce to iwantsandy. You may have to wait for a while to get an invite to a popular site, but you should still be able to get in faster than if you hadn’t used the service.

BugMeNot is a site that you use when you don’t want an invite, but still want to get in.

People provide the site with a login and password, which then becomes communal property. Of course, when these sites detect the same login being used on many different IP addresses at the same time, they tend to shut down that login, so don’t expect them to always work.

Anyway, I’d better go and play with these new social media sites that I just got invites for, just like all the ‘cool kids’.
